FDM is an extrusion-based 3D printing technology that works by depositing melted filament of thermoplastic polymers over a build platform layer by layer which is defined by a digital design file containing a CAD model.
Fusion Deposition Modelling (FDM)
FDM is widely known for its great material selection and the possibility of printing large parts with minimal need for post-processing. The flexibility of the material choice and cost efficiency of FDM makes it an ideal choice for prototyping and batch production.
Why choose Fusion Deposition Modelling?
FDM is ideal for rapid prototyping and low-volume production of durable plastic parts.
By eliminating tooling costs, FDM manufacturing accelerates the design-to-manufacturing process, which is advantageous for prototyping and short-run manufacturing.
FDM gives you access to an on-demand production solution for producing customised end-use parts that tailored to your customer's needs.
